A local newspaper is a travling

ter whether times are good or dull;
no matter whether trade is brisk or
otherwise, no business man can af-
ford to take down his sign, or with.
draw the pleasing influence of a
weekly chat with his patrons through
the newspaper. For a business man
to stop advertising, would be equiv
alent to saying: II have stopped

The county newspaper is the most
useful and least compensated of all
agencies which stamp the impress OF
progress on villages. Without the
aid of local papers, local towns are
as a rule, thriftless and dead. 1t is
common for small great men to
speak slightirgly Of the local papers;
but the village newspaper makes
more great men out of less material,
more brick without straw, than any
other factor in circulation, and is
the one ladder on which men climb
to local distinction, as the beginning
of a wider fame. The date Of the
local newspaper has always dated
the increasing thrift of the commun.
;ty. The local paper is the life of the
locality and the measure of its sup
port,as a rule, measures the advance
ment of the place.-Er.

East Texas Rambler: Our old

marry lightning rod men. Take a
newspaper man first, for, if he can't
support you he'll stay with you and
let you support him. He will at

The editor Of an exchange sums
up his present condition in the fol-
lowing: "Did you ever notice the
poor chap that stands in the first
picture Of an almanac with his bulls
and sheep and scorpion and twins,
etc, around him? Did you ever no.
tice that he was naked, and had
nothing in his stomach? Well that
poor fellow used to edit a paper, and

New YORK, March ll.-R. G. Dun

The past week has been one of great
excitement among railway and grain
operators. There has been what may
be called liars market, 1uctuating
widely with the fatty contradictory
statements sent out every day. Cotton
has also been active advancing, quar-
ter. with sales of 100000 bales, and
coffee, with sales of 425, 600 bags,
closed as it began, as does oil, with
sales of 12O,O00,0 600 barrels. Pro
visions and cattle are stronger, while
wool is weak, combing, as well
as fine wool, yielding. to re-
duced demand. In all markets
for securities the great bargain for the
control of the Baltimore & Ohio alb
serbs attention from the conflicting re-
ports. There energies strong suS-
piciOn that the transaction pending is
in the nature of contract for running
arrangements and not for actual sale,

seemed to be cornered at Chicago early
in the week. The immense combina-

since prices advanced. With more
than 80 ,000, 900 bushels in the country
in excess of all home needs from the
crop year, the chances of a successful
corner are not tlattering. Sales
reached IS ,000, 900 bushels. The price
rose about = cents for the week.
These towering speculatiOns, with
the prevailing real estate fe-
yer, came at bad time.
Congress appropriated SIS, 900, 900 less

beyond Secretary Manning'S estimates,
which must mean that the withdrawal
of currency from use must be large.

children, were poisoned on the planta-
ton of Mrs. J. NJ. Morris last Friday.
Every member of the family was. when
found by DIR. Hardeman, in semi-con-
scious state. One of the children died
Sunday night. The verdict of the cor
oner's jury was that the child came to
it's death from poison at the hands of
unknown persons. Suspicion rests
upon a vOudoo doctor in the neighbor-
hood. Several articles of food and the
chiId's stomach have been brought to
this city and viii be examined by ex-
perts. The mother and two other chill
dren are almost certain to die, while
